We are not talking about nuclear options. We are not talking about having no industry rather we are talking about sensible development. If we look at Galway city where the councillors, who were often criticised in the past and rightly so, did their job, we can see that the land was zoned industrial on both sides of the city. There is a great shortage of industrial development on the west side of the city, which means people are travelling over to the other side on a daily basis creating traffic jams. I suppose it is too late to ask how this arose. The land is owned. What proposals does IDA Ireland have to rectify that?
